Abstract:

Experimental results on GaAs HBT oscillators are presented exploiting the Gunn effect in the collector region. The HBTs are operated beyond fmax as MMIC-compatible two-port transferred-electron devices (TEDs) oscillating at millimeter-wave frequencies. The oscillation frequency of a single device can be tuned in the range of 40-80 GHz, mainly depending on collector voltage. Maximum output power is 0.3 mW at 62 GHz. Phase noise can be considerably improved by subharmonic injection achieving values of -90 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz.
